Yellow Dot Law encourages medical info in vehicle

Columbus firefighters and others took part in an education session Monday learning about the new Yellow Dot Law.

Under the new law, you can provide important information to rescue workers by attaching a yellow dot decal on your vehicle. In the event of an accident or emergency, the dot will alert rescue workers that important medical information can be found in your glove compartment. Supporters say that the program will allow quick access to the important information, when seconds matter.

Also attending the session were the Indiana Association of Area Agencies on Aging, AARP, Thrive Alliance and Indiana Sen. Greg Walker.
